Death Note2015
The premise
Light Yagami is an ordinary university student. One day, he receives a "Death Note", which changes his life. The Death Note awakens his warped sense of justice and genius. He becomes murderer Kira and punishes criminals. L is a well known private detective. L appears in front of Light Yagami. L defines Kira as evil and decides to catch Kira. Then N, who has a beautiful appearance but dangerous existence, appears.
Horror Vault's take
When a university student stumbles upon a supernatural notebook that can kill anyone whose name is written in it, he embarks on a secret crusade to rid the world of criminals — convinced he alone can usher in a new era of justice. But his growing god complex draws the attention of the world's most brilliant detective, setting off an electrifying battle of wits where a single miscalculation could mean everything. This live-action Japanese adaptation of the beloved manga is a tightly wound psychological thriller that keeps the tension coiled from episode to episode. Questions of morality and power simmer beneath every move each player makes.
